Abstract
A double-ended ammunition handling system for feeding a rapid-fire gun comprises a magazine including a plurality of coextensive channels having entry ends presented to a magazine entrance unit and exit ends presented to a magazine exit unit. Live ammunition rounds are scooped from the channel exit ends in repeating succession by the magazine exit unit and merged into a continuous stream which is fed to the gun. The magazine entrance unit accepts a stream of spent shell casings from the gun, which are inserted in the channel entry ends in corresponding repeating succession to push the live ammunition rounds in the channels toward the magazine exit ends. The magazine entrance and exit units utilize either complementary rotary or linear scoop assemblies, and the magazine channels may be implemented as replaceable ammunition clips.
